I'm very petite I really hate how narrow my hips are. Ever since middle school I waited and waited for my hips to get wider as I grew but it never really happened. I've even tried to gain weight to change it, but I tend to not gain wait in this area. I'm scared nothing can be done because the bones aren't wide enough. Is there surgery that can be done to widen my hips? Exercises? Could hormones like estrogen and progesterone increase the amount of fat I gain in that area?
